I love Revelstoke! So much to do and such a hip town. The town square often has live music and great popsicles
Ryan
In Banff I would recommend the grizzly house, fondue place with interesting meats. Not a looker from the outside but a good time.
Andrea
We always stop at Kamloops Costco to fill up on the cheapest gas in BC it seems (if you have membership). And then Revelstoke stretch break. It's a beautiful drive.
Ana
I would recommend you to go a little bit further , if you have time, through Jasper National Park. It’s beautiful, so many viewpoints, lakes and canyons…. You’ll going to love them. Nature is amazing and so beautiful.
Karen
Definitely recommend driving the Icefield Parkway between Banff and Jasper and hiking along the way. Breathtaking scenery! Without a doubt, one of the most beautiful drives in the world.

Karen I also recommend stopping at Num-Ti-Jah lodge if she’s traveling the south highway - which really is a must! Leave EARLY in the morning for spectacular light on the mountains and lots of wildlife!!!!

Two jakes lake drive is really pretty, Johnson’s canyon if you like to hike go up to the ink pots. The hood trail is really pretty walk. I usually do a loop so take highway 5 so I can go through Jasper and down Banff Jasper highway. It’s so beautiful! Then loop around to Banff and drive 1 home. Banff has a really cool museum if you like history that talks about the fur trade etc. it’s in the fort at the base of sulfur mountain. I could go on…. Love Banff.
